The Boskara Collective just declared on me. In CC’s Dangerous Locations list, there’s an entry for the Boskara mining station at Dillalt 4. But it doesn’t appear in CC’s Enemy Targets list. And that’s the case even after quitting the game and restarting it.

There has to be something wrong in the code for Dillalt 4 to appear in Dangerous Locations while the other known Boskaran mining stations do appear in Enemy Targets, as they all should.

Dillalt 4 being in Dangerous Locations means that the buttons available for the entries in Enemy Targets aren’t available for it. And an inexperienced player might not even consider the possibility that some enemy targets might be in “Dangerous Locations” insted of in “Enemy Targets”.


EDIT:
After playing a little more, Dillalt 4 now appears in Enemy Targets, but it still shows in Dangerous Locations.

Haven't played in a while. I've just opened my previous game with the 1.2.9.8 update. I've let it run a little. Now the mining station does appear in "Enemy Targets". So that's good.

But it still appears in "Dangerous Locations" also. I'm not sure if that's how it "should" be, nor if that's what is intended...

Also, and I'd say more importantly, on one hand, some info is repeated in both lists, but on the other hand there’s a big discrepancy between the bases shown in each:

* In Dangerous Locations, with the “Bases” filter active, there are 5 bases
* In Enemy Targets, filtered on “Boskara Collective - Bases”, there are 12
